now in your name were dark mode for
Windows 10 Google Chrome will
automatically be in dark mode as well
but here's the problem
it only works when Windows 10 itself is
in dark mode
so whenever Windows 10 is back to the
regular theme mode Google Chrome will
not be in dark mode and that may very
well be your problem you may prefer
Windows tend to be in a regular theme
but always want the dark mode goodness
in Google Chrome so in this video I'm
going to show you how to force Google
Chrome to always be in dark mode
regardless of the situation alright
let's get started the first thing we are
going to do is update Google Chrome
because dark mode only works for Chrome
74 and up now open Google Chrome and go
to the top right corner where you see
these three buttons that stands for the
menu click it and hover a cursor where
it says help and now click where it says
about Google Chrome now you will see
which version of Chrome you are running
and if it needs to be updated chrome
will automatically update itself so what
you are done doing all of this close all
windows of Google Chrome all right now
let us activate track mode for Google
Chrome but let's try doing it the
regular way first that is by enabling
dark mode on Windows 10 which would
automatically enabled dark mode for
Google Chrome as well then we will see
how to always force chrome to be in dark
mode this is very important because
there is an important setting in Windows
10 people often forget about that allows
for true true dark mode and chrome
because most of the time when people
enabled dark mode for news 10 chrome is
only in dark mode and halfway but
there's this little setting people often
forget and this is also important when
you want to force chrome to one in dark
mode later on to anybody dark mode for
Windows 10 click the start button and
then type color settings in the search
field and now from the search results
select color settings and now you will
see an array of color settings go to
where it says choose you
default up mode and then select dark
another option that's really important
to fully benefit from dark mode is this
one right here under way it says show
accent color on the following services
make sure you uncheck this box where it
says title bars and window borders This
Is It this is the little setting I was
talking about that can make such a big
difference when you do this chrome will
look fully dark it'll be fully in dark
mode especially your top part of the
windows but enough theory let's see how
this works let's see the differences I'm
going to put Google Chrome and then the
color Settings app side-by-side and you
can clearly see the difference okay so
there you go so this is chrome and this
is the color Settings app they are now
side by side
let me enabled our code as you can see
look Chrome automatically is now in dark
mode but check this other option again
where it says show accent color in the
following services make sure you have
this unchecked title bars and window
borders you see when this is checked
chrome is not fully in dark mode look at
that
it's not fully in dark mode the top
parts still have the accent colors and
when you uncheck this is now fully black
true true dark mode pretty cool so very
important to keep this in mind alright
but there's still a problem each time
like I said when we put the color
Settings app back to light
look chrome is in light mode as well
look light dark light dark light dark
and you may not necessarily want that
you may prefer the light option for
Windows but you want chrome to always be
in dark mode well let's see how to
always force come to be in dark mode
happily doing that is fairly simple to
do this click the start button and then
type Google Chrome in
search field and now from the search
results right click Google Chrome that's
right right click and then select open
file location' this will take you to the
ocean new shortcut file of Google Chrome
now for this file you can make it if you
want the dark mode version of Chrome
that would always be in the art mode but
if you have other shortcuts of Google
Chrome let's say for example on the
desktop from the start menu these won't
work it'll only be for that specific
shortcut file which can be found by
typing Google Chrome in the search field
if you want here's what you can do you
can send a copy of this to the desktop
or pin it to the Start menu and that
will work this way I'm going to do
something similar I'm going to make a
copy of this and put it in a separate
folder all right so now let me right
click let me copy and now there you go
I'm going to paste that in that specific
folder all right so now if something
goes to that folder I know it has the
dark mode version of Chrome okay so now
let's force this to always run in dark
mode so right-click this shortcut file
of Chrome and then select properties now
go to the shortcut tab and go to the
field that says target inside the target
text field type force dark mode now
don't worry I am including this in the
video description as well so you can go
there copy all of this and then put it
in the target text field and then you'll
be all set
after you do all of this click apply and
then click OK and there you go this
specific shortcut of Chrome would always
run in dark mode regardless of the
situation so as you can see right now I
am using the regular theme on Windows 10
and look
when I open Chrome look it's now in
direct mode whereas Windows 10 is in
light mode so this is pretty cool
so regardless to the situation you can
always run chrome in dark mode so
definitely for more example
